But when they got there, they had to face a giant that was very fat, and literally unbeatable. So the Monkey
King called all the people in the Sky Palace to help him. After an intense battle between the giant on one
side, and the Monkey King and people in the Sky Palace on the other, the Monkey King and his friends in
the Sky Palace won, and got the book.
Then they went home, and the Monkey King became the king of all monkeys of the mountain, and he
lived happily ever after...
Well not really, because two years later, a weird man came and said that he wanted the Monkey King to
help him with something that was very important. And if he helped him, he would have a chance to meet
Xuanzang again. So the Monkey King followed him until they reached a cave that had a giant pot in the
middle. In the pot were Xuanzang, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing. The Monkey King was happy to see them
but furious to see them in a pot. He tried to save them but he couldn't because a giant net suddenly fell from
the sky towards him. So he tried to jump away, but he couldn't because the man had used a toxic plant to
make him unconscious and they threw him into the giant pot.
The man then went to invite all the monsters he knew to have a feast. He once boasted before all the
monsters that he could offer them all a bite of Xuanzang meat including the three disciples, even including
the unbeatable Monkey King. It was believed that if you eat Xuanzang’s meat, you would be immortal.
When everything was ready, the man started to boil the four in the giant pot, but he didn't know
something…
The humid air made the Monkey King wake up, and the Monkey King smashed the pot, saved his friends
and started fighting the monsters, but there were just too many of them. And the Monkey King knew that
Xuanzang might get hurt, so he took his friends to the mountain for safety. He wanted to go and kill all the
monsters but Xuanzang had a merciful heart and stopped the Monkey King. So, the Monkey King used his
magic hair to create millions of small monkeys to capture all the monsters, and sent them to the original
Buddha. The original Buddha was so pleased with the Monkey King's heroic and kind action that he
awarded the Monkey King another magic hair that enabled the Monkey King to have 72 more magic
transformations.
The Monkey King invited Xuanzang, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing to stay with him in the Mountain. But
they all had their own missions. Xuanzang went back to Chang’an City, the capital of Tang Dynasty in
China, to teach the people the secret of the ancient book.
Zhu Bajie turned back into his handsome man-look General Tian Peng and went back to Sky Palace (if
you didn’t know, he was once an awesome and powerful general in the Sky Palace but was punished to turn
into a pig due to his inappropriate attitude to Chang’Er).
Sha Wujing went back to his river to take care of the people in the village next to the river.
The Monkey King stayed on the mountain and taught the monkeys more about martial arts and self-
defense.
